You know that at some point you've wished you could battle like a trainer in the Pokémon anime. You probably dismissed the thought as a passing fantasy, but did you know the Pokémon Anime Style Battling League allows you to do just that? It's true! Read up on how to get started, and if you have any questions the Q/A thread awaits.
Hope to see you around the PASBL!

I could probably provide the lineart for coloring, and use two different formats for people who want to color it traditionally and those who'd want to do it digitally. I might make a few graphics for banner-makers to have their way with, too, just so no one is left out. Spriters could probably try making a sprite based off of them, too. I think if anyone else wanted to provide materials for people to work with, that'd be great, too.

@Kaiserin D'awww you're so welcome!! <3 (And yes, you totally got the satin right! Most people tend to over due it. Including me at times. /sobs)

A-and oh my gosh? You like Black Jack too!? gfdhihtgufjrdksvgbfhdjeshyf TEEHHEHE4HERDWGHUEJREGFDWS
Yeah, I defiantly could have worked on the eyes.xD I was going too, but I saw it was past 4 in the morning so I gave up. lol
And ahhh I totally agree. I usually thicken and thin out my lines. Actually, I always do. But I was feeling lazy, again. ; A ; I have an easier time making lines on Photoshop, but on SAI, it took me a while. So I left it as is.
Buuuuuuut I'm getting a drawing tablet soon, so I'll be able to use pen-pressure! Yeah! Then I can thicken/thin out my lines.B) Because, while drawing this, it totally bugged me that I couldn't get the lines I usually like. Urgh, having the same thickness for lines bugs me. If only I started the doodle earlier, I wouldn't be so lazy to edit it.
But gwaaah thank you!!; u ; I'm really glad you liked it! <3 And yes, dem manly side-burns.= u = Mmmmgfhrdjueswgfhyujdiskwqa. <3

@Coyote_Dynamo Gwaaah thank you!!> u < Yeahhh, the eye on the right looks enormous compared to the other.
I tried to fix it while sketching it, but it kept turning bigger and bigger as I tried?xD Man, it was weird. I can't wait for that tablet because drawing with a mouse is weird gfrjdkeswl.
Oh and thanks for the tip for the nose! I think honestly, I just needed to resize the brush a bit smaller. Because it looks a bit cramped; the lines.
I still need some work on the nose. lol

@InsaneDragoniteHD Gwaaah thank you!; u ;

Thanks for the tip guys! Ahhh I'm still so excited though! I can't wait to get a tablet and try again! This time, I'll try to not be as lazy. Perhaps I'll do something more serious rather than a doodle.; u ;
But even so, it was a lot of fun. My favourite part was colouring the skin. hfrdjkeshjde that was SO much fun! I felt like I could go on forever.

What art you enjoy doing: Traditional. It's also the only kind that I'm able to do.
How you became interested in art: When I was six years old. At the time, I was into this anime called The Samurai Pizza Cats that I'd always watch after school. The quirky characters and bright colors made me want to try drawing them, so I took some paper, got a No. 2 pencil, and had at it. I've never stopped drawing ever since. My style has developed over the years, and have just now began the habit of coloring most of my art. I mainly draw Pokemon and Monster Hunter.

Username: epicjirachifan
Nickname: EJF
What art you enjoy doing: Banners, userbars, buttons stuff like that and traditional art like manga
How you became interested in art: my grandma was a proffesional artist and she was the one that inspired me. i have been drawing for as long as i can remember, i got ino drawing manga after i saw a poster on my wall when i was 9 and i thaught the art style was intresting, so i tried to draw something like it and developed it from there i draw OC's pokemon gijinka, pokemon and fairy tail, naruto and bleach mainly

Gah, so sorry I have been gone. School was eating up all my free drawing time D; But hopefully I can draw a bit more now that spring semester is finally over! I made it through, yay, but I apologies for my absence...-feels like a terrible person now-

Now for art that i'm to embarrassed to put on DA o3o. A friend of mine recently got me into Cafemocha and...

I have some lineart for you guys, since there was talk about coloring something! I hope Pokemon BW2 is all right. C: Sort of spring themed. It's large, so here are the different formats, linked based on your preference for coloring:

I'll upload my coloring later, since I'll be coloring it too. Once I finish, I'll put it up with a transparent background so banner makers can have their way with it, and therefore have a way to participate. |D Everyone wins! If anyone else wants to make their versions available for banner makers, that's perfectly fine, too. Either way, even if you're not all that good at coloring, see what you can do with it! I'd love to see how everyone does. C:

EDIT: Also, forgive me if I missed cleaning up any spots. You're free to fix the lineart however you see fit.

EDIT: Also ALSO, it's really hard to see in just lineart, but there is a flowerpot under the flowers Rosa is holding, which is why her shirt veers off weirdly there. Keep that in mind when you color!

Sorry to double-post, but for those of you who were wondering, I sent out "hey, are you still here?" PMs to the list of inactive members today, and I think once I get responses back from everyone, I'll move threads so I can remake the OP and add a few extra posts at the start of the thread for showcasing things. I'm wondering: should we keep Sworn Metalhead's banner, or set about getting a new banner? No more contests, believe me, but maybe one from anyone who wants to contribute? Just curious.

Well it sorta depends on if people still like that banner. I almost rarely look at the OP, I use the "see last post" thing. The banner is eye appealing, but if the majority of the people here don't like or don't care about it anymore, then it's replacing time.

Also: Really good job on the lineart! The flowerpot though...I had to read the edit then go back and kinda search for it.

This is awesome, I'll be unleashing my colours on this as soon as I can find time in-between revising for my exams and playing Theatrhythm.

I also rarely look at the first page of the thread, preferring to just to to the last page to look at the new posts. I wouldn't say no to a new banner, although I think the one we have does its job, and it does it well.

Was that really it? Will wondered. Was that what they were all doing, looking for someone less different? Was that what he was doing? Rachel was dynamic and thoughtful and focused and caring and different in more ways than he could count, but the whole point of Rachel, as far as Will was concerned, was that she wasn't him. There was a flaw in Katrina's logic, then. This thing about looking for someone less different ... It only really worked, he realised, if you were convinced that being you wasn't so bad in the first place.

I do like the banner the way it is. But it depends on if people would like to change it up. Its really nice and eye popping and I like all the colors.

on a different note.
I doodled this one last night. I need to space out a few things, like Ash's eyes are a bit to close and Cilan's eyes are a bit to large. Just a few proportional changed that will probably get ironed out when I go to finish it, if I do, i'm not sure if I will. http://imageshack.us/f/829/bouldervscafemocharesiz.png/

Ack, I am really dumb and forgot a few lines, so here's an updated lineart. You may not notice the changes, but I notice them. :C And I'm a massive perfectionist, so... use this one, for the sake of my blood pressure!!

Perhaps we'll keep the banner around, then. In that case, it's just a matter of waiting for everyone on the pending list to PM me back.

Yeah...I am still without a sketchboook.
So, I am still drawing circles after months.

You could always try punching holes in printer paper, putting them in a binder, and carrying that around? Or keeping said paper in a folder or something. There are always workarounds... it's just, loose leaf paper is easy to lose or ruin.

Also, we have some new (well, re-uploaded) userbars from Eevee in the OP!
